Jurgen Klopp: The man who made the Reds believe in themselves again - by Jason Harris

[mattyq]

Haha, I'd forgotten about that

Even at the time it was spectacularly stupid.... with the benefit of hindsight it's off the scale retard

[Grinch]

A large section of the fan base have started twisted the knife in both his full seasons, both seasons he massively over achieved in.

 

The knives will be out again after the next run of bad form too. Anyone would think our spending actually is enough to be toe to toe with the big clubs in the league.

[stringvest]

There are still some on here just waiting for Klopp to trip up especially as he seems to have faith in players they want moved on.

 

I have lots of faith and hope in Jurgen. He will stand or fall by his methods and results. Football is fickle and not even he can gaurantee trophies. Whatever the outcome the ride is so much more enjoyable now.

Nah. People don’t want Klopp to trip up, even if, like me, they think he picks players they think are bang average.

 

Speaking for myself, I don’t have faith in players or managers, because I’m well over the age when that seems like a sensible thing to do, but I’m certainly enjoying our performances and there are one or two players that I like and admire. It’s a reasonably good time to be a Liverpool supporter right now. It really is.

[dockers_strike]

There were some valid criticisms of him at the time, anyone wanting rid was obviously batshit crazy though.

 

Valid criticisms less than 2 years into the job is just crazy. Well to everyone who doesnt expect Rome to be built in a day.

Here's Liam Rosenior's take on Klopp

They do not want Klopp to trip up. Come on we all know there is a hard core of posters on here who are waiting for defeat to Roma or the CL final to come out with Klopp has no Plan B should not have bought Oxlade Chamberlain and why did we not keep hold of Coutinho and Salah is next to be sold in the summer.

[RobbieOR]

John's sound. He's more than happy we're doing well.

Name names.  Out with it. Stop hiding behind other people's anonymity. Come on.  I want to know who the enemy is.  

[VladimirIlyich]

I'm no Stronts defender but he was as sick of Rodgers as the rest of us iirc.

That's what I meant. Once bitten twice shy and all that.

Couldn't be further from the truth. I know why Liverpool has zero chance of consistent success and it's got nothing to do with the man who has brought us some highs and no doubt some more to come.

It really is.

 

And hopefully Jürgen will tire of his "bow and arrow vs tanks" Quixotism in the summer, after we win the European Cup.

 

No way 19 happens next season otherwise.

[s(k)aturation]

Well to everyone who doesnt expect Rome to be built in a day.

 

Hopefully it will be destroyed over two mid-week evenings.

If there are, they would be more ones that hate FSG, rather than Klopp.  Perhaps.

haha!  I know that's not quite true though.  Grinch's ire is focussed elsewhere. 

[TheHowieLama]

He has limitless ire.

 

His ire is tireless.

 

He brings the ire -- wire to wire.

 

Throw another log on the ire.

[s(k)aturation]

Reading that back, isn’t it funny how most of the nobheads defending/agreeing with him have disappeared recently?

 

johnb himself has only posted on the post-match 1-4 to Spurs and 0-1 to Swansea since writing the article. Seems like he cared more about making his point than seeing the team do well. Disappointing that someone like that gets a platform such as this one. 

 

Why?

For the princely 2-quid a month I pay... I can swerve or engage with a couple of articles and two posts in 8 months, so can anyone...

He cares more about making his point?

Isn't that one of the points of an internet forum?

At least he's sparing us the bullshit of multiple accounts, clogging up fora with countless narcissistic navel-gazing bollocks - like whoever F72 et al are.

Or worst of all, there's me to put up with on here...

 

Comparatively speaking, Johnb is our friend. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

I didnt like the disrespectful way he spoke about the manager. I still don't. I've no issue with him having a platform from which to speak, though. Just as long as I have one to respond with.

No disrespect to him as it's the only article I've ever read of his and his others may be better, but it was objectively trash and needed to be criticized.

 

And other thing that deserves criticizing is the fact that someone with the privilege to write articles on this site has only ever posted twice after to offer condescending "I told you so" comments on the post-match threads of two of the very few losses we've endured this season.

 

I don't think it's going too far to point out that this is weird behavior. 

[TheBitch]

haha! I know that's not quite true though. Grinch's ire is focussed elsewhere.

I'm not sure he's a fan of Ox, but I tell you what, I admire Grinch, no matter what his eyes are telling him, he's sticking to his opinion and he ain't gonna change and I for one applaud him, there's plenty of room on board the bus, but Grinch is gonna walk.

Yeah same. Big fan of Grinch. Ox put in a MOTM performance against arguably the best midfield in recent history...

 

Grinch: “He’s SHITE and overpriced at £60m!”

 

Always good for lols.

Valid criticisms less than 2 years into the job is just crazy. Well to everyone who doesnt expect Rome to be built in a day.

 

And yet, ironically, his finest achievement as Liverpool manager will involve seeing Rome utterly destroyed.

Absolute bollocks.

 

Everyone is open to fair criticism.

I tend to agree with the sentiment although I thought Rafa was harshly treated by the club and the fans towards the end of his tenure.
